What do they do? Follow everyone outside of AA around to see how they are living thier life or ensure maybe they have some spiritual awakening through their involvement with their church? The ones who may 'often' say that do not know. They may very well be right about some, but it's just a 'general' random shot.
And I really don't have the time to go following every alcoholic around outside of AA around to see for myself, so I think I'll just worry about myself for now I think.
My wife's a handful enough to worry about.
